I liked better the shorter offseasons that come with playing in the Final.

That second line couldn't dig a puck out of the corner if there was a billion dollar lottery ticket attached to it.

I was thinking the same..

So much for the Connor Murphy not ever playing again rumors

Connor Murphy says he's fully healthy and ready to go this season. He returned late last year but missed nearly half of last season with a groin injury.

He's the new three-wheeled shopping cart, LA.

Hawks did pretty good with that model in the line-up eh Mohel ?

I do admit his warranty is pretty much over, and probably one manufacture's recall away from expiration

The same could have been said about our second line sometimes when we had a good team too.

The JD's (3rd) line will get the defensive assignments. The top line will get the kitchen sink thrown at it to slow down Bedard. The second line should be able to fly under the radar a bit and hopefully the 4th line can roll out there enough without hurting the team.

Since I don't like AA penciled in at 2C, I was thinking Kurashev might get shuffled back to C. Who knows how long these lines last. I still like the idea of Bertuzzi on line 2 and a more puck skilled TT on line 1. I'm curious to see how it shakes out. Nazar might still sneak his way into this lineup. Maybe AA redeems himself and gets back into the top 6.

I don't know if that was ever a real rumor, but I still wouldn't be surprised if he hurts himself again and he doesn't finish his final two seasons without being on LTIR. He seems to be just unable to keep himself healthy.

dahawks8819 needs a better source among his friends in the front office. However, Murphy is sure to miss a lot of games the next couple of years due to his past history.

He might've talked to Paulie's guy, Bob.

Yep, Rozy was a useful player, although this board rode him hard.

Murph's fine, too; hopefully a kid is ready to take his place right when the warranty expires.

You can do a lot worse than Murphy if he’s healthy. Eventually they’ll have Arty, Jones, and Rinzel on the right side, can’t wait.
